Mama you're my heart my guiding light
Raised me from the start always did what's right
In the busy times and through the ups and downs
I'm making time now before the sun goes down
From the day I was born you held me tight
Guiding my steps making sure I saw the light
Staying up late teaching me to be strong
Through every right and wrong you made me belong
You corrected my path when I went astray
Showed me the truth in every single way
Life got hectic but we made time to play
Those moments we shared never fade away
Mama you're my heart my guiding light
Raised me from the start always did what's right
In the busy times and through the ups and downs
I'm making time now before the sun goes down
As I grew older your lessons stayed close
In every challenge faced you helped me to grow
You cheered every win wiped away every tear
In my darkest times you were always near
Now I look back and feel the weight of regret
Not spending enough time I can't forget
But it's not too late to make things right
To cherish every moment and hold you tight
Mama you're my heart my guiding light
Raised me from the start always did what's right
In the busy times and through the ups and downs
I'm making time now before the sun goes down
Now I'm older and I see the truth
The time we missed the loss of our youth
I'm here to make it up to show you my love
Every moment with you is a gift from above
We'll laugh and talk make memories anew
Every day I have left I'll spend it with you
Grateful for your wisdom your love and your grace
I'll cherish our time and I'll embrace
Mama you're my heart my guiding light
Raised me from the start always did what's right
In the busy times and through the ups and downs
I'm making time now before the sun goes down
Mama you're my hero my rock and my friend
In every chapter of my life you've been the blend
I'll make the most of our time hold it close and dear
Thankful every moment with you I'll stay near
We've got today and I'll give it my all
Making time for you before the night falls
Mama you're my heart my guiding light
Raised me from the start always did what's right
In the busy times and through the ups and downs
I'm making time now before the sun goes down
So here's to you Mama with all my soul
Thank you for your love for making me whole
I'll cherish our time every laugh and every tear
Making time for you each and every year
